Well, that doesn't surprise me one single bit! I think that you and I had a conversation one time about wood and it is really apparent that you are addicted to All Things Wood. There is just something about the smell and just the touch of it. I can run my hands along a piece of wood when it's all sanded down and smooth and it is just like heaven. I'm not sure that I can explain that touch to you but I am sure that you know what I mean. Setting up a woodshop should be right in your wheelhouse because you are so handy that I I cannot believe that you don't have one already. You do so much handy work now and the minute you set up your shop oh, you're going to be busier than ever. You can put that retirement behind you then. LOL

As for the mermaid, oh, I think you picked right because the tall one is prettier and you have to get realistic about it all. If you're going to have a woodshop, you may be able to carve your own. Then you can make her in your own image. Now that may be dangerous.

Maybe I should give a hint with the brain teaser? It does seem a little bit unfair. I hope you do get to go to Maine in Into the Woods. It's one of those places that I think you would love.
